Basically, I'm a bit confused as to whether "XO Project" refers to one or more nascent versions. Oh, and this X0 capture is from the "Faces" discs, right? Are these (or this?) project(s) going to be anamorphic? Dual layered?
The "X0 Project" refers to the utilization of the raw X0 capture that Laserman made. I'm pretty sure that it's from the "Faces" set. Zion's version will be anamorphic and dual-layered. I believe that MeBe's will at least dual-layered, not sure about anamorphic. MeBe is also working on an edition to compile 8(?) seperate audio tracks, for at least ANH. The other two will have fewer, as there have been fewer audio changes over the years.
You are correct, the set is letterbox and not anamorphic. It is single-layered. There were two versions of the ANH disc: One with the mono mix audio of the film and one with an isolated score track instead. I believe there were different captures of the film for the two versions as well, the second ("revised") version with the score track being superior. Rik has copies of the whole set and the first two have been seeded as torrents on MySpleen. I couldn't tell you about the audio, as my sound setup is terrible (can't ask for much when you're a colelge student living away from home). Someone else will have to answer that one.
- The Cowclops/TR47 #2 version, will it be dual layered? Anamorphic? Is it all 3 films? Is it from the Definitive Collection Discs or the "Faces" discs?

- This "Editdroid" set, is also known as the "Mysterious Mysteries" set I gather from your website. It also appears to be letterboxed, not anamorphic. Is this set Dual Layered? Does it have the Pre-ANH audio dub? You say the picture is on par with TR47's first set, how does the audio compare? Which set of Laserdiscs is this set from? Who would I talk to about obtaining a copy of this set?

It will not be dual-layered and I believe it isn't anamorphic. Not sure about which set it comes from.
Again, if I fudged any info, just reply and correct me.
